It is much more effective IV of course, but i find it works very well. Better than demerol or morphine for me at least. I even find Iv dilaudid and valium preferable to IV fentanyl and versed.Dilaudid is hydromorphine , i found it is not strong even in 8 mg , glad that you can get relief off 4 mg yes i would agree in the grand scheme of things that Dilaudid is for severe pain i just did not get relief from it for my pain
OP what was your pain pill issue?
What do you prefer for pain control if 8mg dilaudid isn't enough?
